The combination of the oval form, illustrated portrait, and wonderfully theatrical packaging makes this an especially pretty piece of vintage cosmetic ephemera for a vanity or boudoir collection. The bottom identifies the shade as \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Rachel\u003c\/strong\u003e and the original size as 2 oz.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Special Rachel shade was part of Du Barry's face powder range by the late 1930s and remained in the line through the 1940s and beyond. Richard Hudnut began substantially repackaging the Du Barry line around 1948–49, which helps place this particular packaging within the broader mid-century period. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood vintage condition with visible age-related wear.
